JUDGE COOLEY THINKS MANY PEOPLE ARE NEEDLEssLY
SCARED OVER IT.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner Schoonma-
ker who is at his home In Kingston, N. Y, has
cetved the following letter from Judge Cooley for
his approval:
ANN ARBoR, MICE, May 9, 1887.
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard Secretary Of State:
Sir: The Interstate Commerce Commission has
had transmitted to it from the State Department
communication from VIM. d. II. Washington,
United States commercial agent, London, Ontario,
In which that Of1cer lays before the Department
the disastrous effects OF the recent act to regulate
commerce upon the trade OF the United States
with Canada, and gives instances to prove
its alarming nature. From the communication
partment expects some notice to be taken OF 1t,
and, though the Commissioners are just now sepa-
rated, venture to express my own thoughts. Mr..
Washingtons fears OF disastrous consequences are,
am we'll assured, excessive. They Will not to any
great extent be realized Some inconveniences must
Necessarily arise from putting In force law which
attempted such considerable changes, but they
will be greater at first than after the working OF the
law has become understood, and greatest while
parties are heStating to act because OF doubts OF
construction, and probably no important act ever
passed by Congress has ELECTED such a variety of
opinion and with such radical difference as the one
In question.
The terms of the act are not as clear as they
might have been made, but 1t should also be said
c1rcum stanced have come to an examination OF
the law has not been conducive to harmonious
views. A careful reading OF MI. WashingtonS
letter seems to show that the consequences
which he attributes to the law flow from the
construction railroad managers have put upon IL,
and which may or may not be correct. In a recent
visit of the Commission to the Southwest It was
made very apparent in The testimony taken that
some persons were excited by fears OF the destruc
than views OF the law which were SO erroneous
that it would seem they ought not to have been
entertained by any one. cannot help thinking
that equally unfounded views have had much TO
do with the disturbances Of trade OF which Mr..
Washington speaks, and that as these are cor
rected the disturbances will become cofnpara-
lively unimportant. shall remain In that belief
until further experience OF the law shall show its
error. Very respectfully,
